Snowflake to open new UK office citing 'strong momentum across EMEA'

The new office is part of wider expansion plans in the UK market

Data cloud company Snowflake is opening a new UK office and Customer Experience Centre (CEC) in London, following growth in EMEA during the fiscal 2023.

The company said the new office is part of wider expansion plans in the UK market and is the company's second CEC in the EMEA region.

In FY23, Snowflake reported that product revenue in EMEA grew 72 per cent year on year.

"In FY23, we were laser-focused on shifting and cementing our position as a fully-fledged vertical company," explained Alison Tierney, SVP EMEA at Snowflake.

"This enables us to have deeper conversations with customers where each function from sales to marketing is driving the value of our tailored industry data cloud offerings to meet the opportunities and requirements associated with industries from financial services to retail."

"In the year ahead, we will focus on a few core areas for our EMEA customers, such as Snowpark, Customer 360 and ESG.

In 2023 the company also expanded its team in EMEA by 68 per cent, reaching 1,289 in total as of January 31, 2023.

In the UK, Snowflake recently announced its availability on Microsoft Azure's Marketplace.

"We are seeing growth across all verticals, and as the number of customers increases, the attraction and value of the data cloud for our prospects has followed", said Julien Alteirac, Area Vice President UK&I and Benelux, Snowflake.

"The opening of our new office is testament to our growth in EMEA and demonstrates our long-term goals in expanding our activity. As the second CEC to launch in the EMEA region the space will act as a strategic tool to build strong relationships, customer intimacy and trust. It is also a great opportunity to collect valuable insights from them to innovate and further develop our products and solutions."

The new London office will occupy 3,434 square metres near Liverpool Street.
